  • Title: Hemangioma of the parotid gland: case report.
    Author: Popescu E, Trandafir V, Negru D, Dobrin N, Trandafir D.

    Abstract:
    Hemangiomas account for half of the parotid gland tumors occurring in children. After a rapid increase in the first months of life, some of them gradually regress (until complete disappearance) in a period of several years. Hemangiomas that do not regress over time, grow in size (possibly within a short period of time) or develop complications such as intralesional acute bleeding or thrombosis require aggressive therapy: intralesional corticosteroid injection, sclerotherapy. radiation therapy, laser photocoagulation. embolization, or surgical removal. We present the case of a 12-year-old boy with hemangioma of the left parotid gland diagnosed by CT scan, angio-CT with 3D reconstruction and angiography successfully treated by superselective intraarterial embolization with acrylic glue followed after 4 days by left superficial parotidectomy with facial nerve preservation.
